Absence of lipoprotein lipase in cultured human adipose stromal cells.

چکیده
To develop a system for studying the regulation of adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in human cells, we isolated cells from the stromalvascular fraction of human adipose tissue and propagated them in tissue culture. These cells were cultured in medium containing fetal bovine, horse, or human sera in the absence or presence of aminoglycoside antibiotics. After the cells had been at confluence for at least 1 week, they were exposed to medium containing insulin, 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine (IBMX), and dexamethasone, in an attempt to induce differentiation into cells which produce LPL. Stromal cells in 62 cultures from 20 subjects were monitored for any LPL activity secreted into the culture medium. In addition, cultures were assayed for activity releasable with heparin, and extractable from cell digests in nonionic detergent. Upon reaching confluence, the human adipose tissue stromal cells began to accumulate lipid droplets. However, no consistent LPL activity was measured in the culture medium or after exposure to heparin. Five cultures contained a minimal amount of detergent extractable hydrolytic activity. In contrast, cultures of rat stromal cells not exposed to insulin, IBMX, and dexamethasone, contained assayable LPL in the culture medium (3.3 +/- 1.6 nEq/min/ml) and in the heparin-releasable fraction (1.7 +/- 0.5 nEq/min/10(6)cells). Thus, human adipose tissue stromal cells do not represent a useful system for studying the regulation of LPL. Although these cells accumulate some lipid, the absence of measurable LPL suggests that complete differentiation has not yet occurred.

Cytological and enzymological characterization of adult human adipocyte precursors in culture.
Cell strains were derived from the stromal-vascular fraction of human omental adipose tissue and grown in culture. Since the purpose of this study was to isolate adipocyte precursors from adults, the cells were obtained from nonobese patients 40-60 yr of age. After treatment of adipose tissue with collagenase, mature adipocytes were separated from stromal-vascular fraction cells, and cell strai...
متن کاملA comparison of lipoprotein lipase activity and adipocyte differentiation in growing male rats.
During adipose tissue development changes in lipoprotein lipase activity per adipocyte precede significant changes in fat cell size. Lipoprotein lipase activity per adipocyte increases fourfold from the second to seventh postnatal week. Furthermore, when isolated adipocytes and stromal--vascular cells are prepared by collagenase digestion of adipose tissue, there is a progressive shift in enzym...
متن کاملLack of effect of leptin on glucose transport, lipoprotein lipase, and insulin action in adipose and muscle cells.
The effect of leptin on glucose transport, lipogenesis, and lipoprotein lipase activity was studied in cultured rat adipocytes and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Leptin had no effect on basal and insulin stimulated glucose transport in isolated adipocytes from the rat and the genetically obese mouse. The incorporation of glucose into lipids was also unaffected. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity remained un...
متن کاملStudy of lipoprotein lipase content in Ob17 preadipocytes during adipose conversion. Immunofluorescent localization of the enzyme.
The development of lipoprotein lipase has been examined during adipose conversion of preadipocyte Ob17 cells. These cells have been previously shown to differentiate in clusters of fat cells. The lipoprotein lipase activity, which increases 20-50-fold during adipose conversion, is fully inhibited by anti-lipoprotein lipase y-globulins (directed against the rat heart enzyme) and is heparin-relea...
متن کاملVLDL induces adipocyte differentiation in ApoE-dependent manner.
OBJECTIVE To clarify the role of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and apolipoprotein E (apoE) in adipogenesis, we studied newly developed hyperlipidemic obese (ob/ob;apoE-/-) mice. Because hydrolysis of VLDL is believed to be the major source of adipogenic free fatty acids, a higher plasma level of VLDL in these mice should exaggerate obesity. METHODS AND RESULTS When fed a high-fat, high-...
